Dr Kevin Wang
Lecturer
School of Civil Engineering and Construction
College of Engineering and Information Technology
Kevin is a Lecturer in Project Management at UniSA STEM. He holds a PhD in Built Environment from Deakin University, a Master's degree in Construction Management (Professional) from Deakin University and a Master's degree in Project Management from the University of New South Wales. Kevin has a great passion for research, and his research currently focuses on construction and project management, residential electrification and decarbonization, as well as the applications of heat pumps and energy storage in houses. He has published a few papers in reputable journals and conferences. Before joining UniSA STEM, he worked as a tutor at UniSA Online for around three years and taught six courses in the Construction Management program. He also worked as a lecturer at Victoria University, where he taught a building services course, and worked as a tutor, honours thesis supervisor and research assistant at Deakin University for some time.
